    I’m after some advice. Should I buy a California T under 10k miles for around £95k or should I get a Portifino for around £105k but has covered 33k miles ?

    Next jump up on the portofino is around £125-130k which is getting a bit out of my price range.
    Thanks in advance.

    Drive both if you haven't already. I did, and decided the Portofino was not worth the extra 80-100 thousand US the market is asking. I'm surprised the delta is that much smaller in the UK, even with the mileage difference.

    I wouldn't be scared of a Portofino @ 33k miles. Get the car you like the most.

    Buy the car you like the most. I own a 2013 Cali30 and when I replace it, I would not buy a Cali T, better buying a Portofino (big leap from the T to the P. in terms of tech, performances, quality, etc… + more attractive/design IMO). I actually prefer my 2013 Cali30 to the Cali T.

    33K miles is not extreme, of course depending on the year. What year is the Portofino you are looking at? If 2018/2019/2020/, nothing wrong with the mileage, these cars are reliable daily drivers.

    Portofino = 2020. That’s the one (if its past, Carfax and PPI check out). The seller is not a Ferrari dealer, you need to have a PPI done to check the car (peace of mind before a purchase).

    Sure would get it checked out. Ideally wanted a few less miles as want to run it as a daily. The jump in price goes up quickly.
